I converted all my texture maps into map files using imf\_copy and reindexed the files accordingly in my scene, but black stripes and black boxes now appear on my mapped surfaces. Any clue?  
Thx!

I had a similar prob just recently, I had the flags "-p -r" on when I converted and had the probs, I got rid of "-r" and it was fine. Hope it helps.
